Dollar Tree Inc. is expanding its logistics network with two major distribution center projects in Arizona and Oklahoma, adding more than 2 million square feet of capacity and 800 jobs. The projects reflect the company’s strategy to strengthen regional supply chain resilience and support store growth across the U.S.
The retailer has purchased a 1.25-million-square-foot facility in Litchfield Park, Arizona, west of Phoenix. The modern, climate-controlled site—located in the Park303 industrial corridor—is scheduled to open in spring 2026 and employ about 400 people. It will serve Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores across Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.
“Our new distribution center will strengthen our supply chain in the Southwest, enabling us to serve stores with greater speed and efficiency,” said Roxanne Weng, Dollar Tree’s chief supply chain officer. “It ensures that the value our customers count on—and the exciting new treasures they look forward to—are always in stock.”
Dollar Tree paid about $147 million for the property, according to public filings. Local officials say the investment reinforces the Phoenix area’s position as a key Western distribution hub.
In Marietta, Oklahoma, the company broke ground on a new 1-million-square-foot distribution center that will replace a facility destroyed by a tornado in 2024. The new center is expected to open in spring 2027 and employ about 400 people while serving approximately 700 stores across the West and Southwest.
“Our rebuilt distribution center demonstrates our commitment to the region, inspired by the community’s strength and resiliency,” said Mike Creedon, Dollar Tree’s chief executive officer. “We look forward to welcoming back many of our former associates, creating hundreds of new jobs, and continuing to strengthen our foundation for the future.”
Dollar Tree operates more than 16,000 Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores across the U.S. and Canada. The two projects bring their total distribution network to more than 30 facilities.
Retail analysts say the expansions reflect a broader industry push to diversify logistics operations and build redundancy against disruptions. By investing in both Arizona and Oklahoma, Dollar Tree is increasing its operational flexibility while supporting community recovery and long-term growth.
The Litchfield Park center is slated to open in 2026, followed by the Marietta rebuild in 2027, two milestones that mark a renewed focus on efficiency and resilience for the $30 billion retailer.
